Jobs for the sake of jobs is a really strange concept. I sometimes wonder whether the extreme focus on jobs is about maintaining the status quo at all costs, for humanity and the natural environment. So I think some political or other force is behind the jobs movement. However, politics may be a distraction, a diversion, or a manufactured blame mechanism if things get figured out. The source may actually be kings, castles, and kingdoms, an industrial Earth that wants to control Earth and its people. This entire concept is a big problem because it fosters the continuation and spread of an out-of-control world that makes little rational sense in both the short and long term. Instead, we need holistic adaptive planning and needs assessment to determine where our planet needs energy. I have an idea called the University Earth Research Explorers Cycle, which shifts jobs toward meaningful energy allocation based on holistic needs and planning toward desired future conditions on Earth. People can allocate energy to whatever they choose. Because people help determine energy allocation, it becomes more rational, realistic, reasonable, and holistic. People in the future will likely choose conservation and contribution to the commons, common good, restoration, and desired future conditions as areas to allocate energy. At the same time, they will allocate energy to their life paths and purposes toward anything they desire, as long as it is needed and part of desired future conditions. Nobody does it better than each of us and all of us together. World without end…
